CristyCurves

I agree, when I was younger I had by most standards, what would physically be considered sexy, all anyone would want, but not much confidence. Hanging with the wrong people, listening to negativity and believing it, not much familial support and rather disconnected parents. All that can affect a positive outlook on oneself and create a lack of confidence. But as I've grown older, learned, understood, changed who I choose to associate with and who and what I listen to, I've become much more confident and at times, lol, to much so. But we all do what we have to do to protect ourselves. I certainly feel sorry for those who are young and growing in this decade of instant contact, online bulling, societal pressures, media bullshit, peer pressures, etc. If you are not a strongly grounded, centered and well parented youth, boy will you have a long hard road.

I was told they attack things that are sweet maybe that's why they are always biting me;), lol! Not to say you aren't sweet Liquor:)

Does sexy have an expiration date? If you were to go by todays standards, listen to tv, radio or fall prey to advertising, you'd believe it does. Everyday we are being fed the notion that "sexy" is a young, hard bodied male or female, of a particular body type and age. Nothing more. I always thought being sexy had more to do with non-physical attributes more than physical ones and that those who are considered sexy would still be so no matter their age. Are we becoming more shallow with each passing decade or as a society has it always been this way?

Yes you should, no one can speak to much when it comes to helping those less fortunate, here or abroad. It is giving to charities that makes you wealthy, wealthy in spirit, which has a far greater pay off than a cheque. I don't donate to very many human charities, anymore for my own reasons , although I do volunteer. I do donate to animal charities and causes globally. I am a firm believer if you have what you need and can afford to give, then do so, that's compassion. But many North Americans appear to have the attitude I had to do it my self, I had to work hard to get where I am, so can they.

There are a lot of us here that are doing this because we enjoy it. Katherine certainly is a great choice but there are many, local and visiting that may suit your needs. Pick who you are most attracted to and go from there and most of all, have fun;)

Don't mix between my attitude and personality.. because my personality is me and my attitude depends on you..

Schuks, you got me , and I thought I was fooling you, darn! Lol. Additional Comments: Rg the Agencies I ran and worked for were real, I paid taxes, was registered as a business and ran it as such. You didn't have to tell ladies not to perform bbbj or bare sex it was just the norm not to. Back then bbbj was as frowned upon as bare sex was , that had nothing to do with pimping. How agencies operate today may be different. I can only speak to how I knew it. Back then the ladies also asked for tips. Times change, people change and to each their own.

Yes there is a federal dept of bj's and it's run by Mr.Big, he lives in cocksville:),lol. My attempt at humor;)When you become an sp perhaps then you could address feeling "pressured". Unless you are selling such services how could you relate to the pressures felt, or perhaps you are, if so, I'll apologize. To speak to a topic, or as you put it, whine, is every persons right. To discuss personal experiences within the business, again, is a persons right. To assume someone is trying to rid their "competition" by discussing their experiences is absurd. Especially when many of us don't consider others as competition. When any of us work for or with someone there are usually rules to be followed, hence, some things will be "allowed" some things will "not be allowed" . Back when I ran services bbbj was a big no, no, anyone back then that I knew who ran a service had the same rule. When I worked for services it was also the same. But that was then:) Just curious, if this debate, rather discussion, bores you so, why keep posting or reading about it?

Vet services, cha ching, cha ching!

Waking up to sunshine and my little dog back home:)

Me too, but perhaps that's why I am single;), lol! I love being single, my life is busy and I wouldn't have the time to devote to nurturing and maintaining a relationship. I love my freedoms and the ability to "date" whomever I please, when ever I choose and in whatever manner I deem needed. I love the single and married men I meet and would hope for those who are single or attached, that it is the relationship they want and is best for them.

is Really Gabriella Laurence? the above quote "subjective interpretation" is yours. Now is this only to be considered when I read your posts? The fact that you assumed I was sending a message is your interpretation, your issue not mine. Should you explain your intent behind every post/ thread you write? I'm not going to. Read into it what you will! As you said we all can interpret what we read as we see fit, so fill your boots. Now you say that some people consider you sarcastic because of the FULL quote Kim provided in her post? lol Yes lol!! What? You haven't gotten my sarcasm? my sense of humor, sorry if it went over your head? I'd say I'm sarcastic a lot of times and I do agree with the article and the definition of sarcasm, even when I use it! Again, you are believing and reading into this what you see fit. Are you for real or was it just a sarcastic comment? Or perhaps a witty and intelligent comment? Maybe a clarification would be helpful so there are no misunderstandings (adding a :) just in case). Remember it was you as well who commented about wearing rosy colored glasses and not taking everything so literally all the time, or does this also just work for you? So which one is it, cristycurves? Not sure Gabriella Laurence which do you think it is? Did I say I never used sarcasm? Have I mentioned that I thought I was better than you or anyone else? Where does it say I'm excluding myself? Are you above sarcasm or are you not like everyone else who uses sarcasm from time to time (whether it'd be ironic sarcasm, witty sarcasm, funny sarcasm, ill intended sarcasm, etc.)?? From reading your posts-lately, I can tell you, you are not above anything (should I add a ;) here?). You sure are making a mountain out of a mole hill;) If you need concrete examples, I can easily provide you with quotes of what you wrote, within context... especially to me when I dared to disagree with you (would a :( be appropriate here?). You sure do get offended easily:) Imagine the usage of emoticons causing such hostility:( I am aware of what I write, I think you should concentrate on your writings and I on mine, or is this also a lesson that I am only needing? Yes, those smilies are mostly being over-used to (try to) disguise insults. Those smilies don't change the meaning the message being sent, at all. And this is nothing new either. I don't use smiles to disguise insults, I use them to show I'm joking but interpret them as you see fit. Sometimes, there is room for interpretation and sometimes, the message is loud and clear. Dare to disagree with Miss CC and you will be on the receiving end of passive aggressive (and sarcastic) comments. Is it, lol, Once again I guess interpretation is only used appropriately when GL says so! cristycurves, you say you like bluntness? This one was all for you. Sarcasm excluded. Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time. P.S. How many smilies did I use in my post? Maybe I should just add a few more because, well, I am allowed to and have not reached the limit yet... ;) :biggrin: :icon_razz: :icon_cool: I think you were okay as you'd have gotten a message to tell you other wise!!

There is truth to this because I am one of I'm sure many who began to provide bbbj from feeling pressured, the need to be a so called "genuine" gfe and because more than not demanded it. But in saying that I could not justify allowing daty and then expecting the man to be covered. Joining cerb was an eye opener because years before, when I was involved with services, offering that service would get you fired, it wasn't allowed, ever! Now everyone, or it seems like everyone is doing it.To be honest I'd prefer it not be allowed, but who listens to me, lol!

Ahh thank you:) must have been the booze! I like him too, Dorian gray is an interesting story. Hmm,,, highest form of intelligence says he... Perhaps that's why some consider me sarcastic;)

Is this post needlessly rude? Seeking drama? If you don't like how I post or what my threads say then why are you responding and reading them? I haven't attacked anyone, nor do I perceive anything. My posts and threads are my thoughts and opinions just like yours, I don't control, or insinuate control towards anyone. However what I or anyone says is subject to interpretation:) and if you interpret them as rude, defensive or harpy that's on you that does not mean that's how they were intended. Additional Comments: ;););) hiccup, hiccup, thank you Kim, hiccup, what did you say:)

If you don't understand it or get what it means how could you find it rude or defensive?

I like bluntness:) but is this post sarcasm;) and does anyone include me, lol? With all due respect to you ;) I find it funny when I make a post or a thread some read into it an agenda, or make more of it than it is, such as you have done. I'm being blunt as well, with all due respect:) When the opposite happens I'm told I misinterpret, that the post or thread is subjective that I'm reading it wrong! This op doesn't need to understand anything, I can read and can get "it" and this op has known shit happens since I could shit:) With all due respect and thank you but I don't need you to inculcate anything in, to me or for me:) and I think it rather rude of you to think you should. But if it's made you feel better....:) Lastly Perhaps you are confused, as I'm not sure why you'd think I would want everyone to agree with me. My apologies to those I've offended for my usage of emoticons;)

It's good to be humorous, positive and to think;) I however feel people don't think enough. I don't think definitions change, at least that of sarcasm hasn't from all I've read, all the meanings seem to be the same or Often referred to as the 'lowest form of wit', sarcasm is sometimes confused with irony. Sarcasm involves a composer (most commonly a speaker) saying something that is the opposite of what they really mean. The important difference between the two is that sarcasm is correctly defined as being humorous and deliberately mocking or insulting the object or person towards whom it is directed. Sarcasm is most commonly used in spoken texts. In written texts, sarcasm can be expressed like this: 'Yeah RIGHT! Like THAT'S going to happen'. or, more formally, or on a word processor, 'Yeah right! Like that's going to happen'. similar to the one above. But like a lot of things we can make it what we want, which really has nothing to do with being positive or negative. Another example of sarcasm- you sing to me and ask me if I thought you sang well and I reply sure you made my ears bleed-would that make you feel better? As far as exclamation points I was always taught that when using one you were making a strong point, or it could be used as shouting or hollering in print. As far as emoticons when I joined cerb I was informed it best to use them when making posts as many will misinterpret things without them. Perhaps for them to be less irritating you just have to be in a happy, positive mood or have a sense of humor:)But what do I know;)

I know! That does suck, so do bullies

It may:) Because being supportive and unbiased in one way maybe reflective of how someone will be in other aspects of this business and lifestyle or life in general.

I don't stare into a woman's breast- Lol, that's good because you wouldn't be able to see through them;) But seriously:) Since I'm not attracted to women I don't pay particular attention to any one particular feature, however if they stand out on a woman I may comment. What I find attractive, sexy and beautiful on anyone are non-physical attributes #1 being-kindness, then those who are non-bias, welcoming, loving, and those who truly appreciate a person beyond their looks. Thanks for your response

Sorry:) I thought the thread was clear, perhaps I'm not great at expressing myself at times. However it's point is no other than to ask questions about a topic of choice, and like the other 2500 or so threads and posts I've made, it's simply another topic, within another day, this one about support, no need to analyze it or read anything more into it other than what's asked:) Which is how you vote on threads, why and if you think you are a supportive member pertaining to the meaning of being supportive as used in the thread. I included sp's and hobbyists so I'm not sure why you'd think I was speaking to "primarily" sp's? I did edit the thread to put sp's and hobbyists in brackets, but before doing so I did include the mention of within the sp and hobby life, the term member(which I assumed most would realize ) includes both sp's and hobbyists, sorry if that wasn't clear.

Such a lovely comment, I wish I were as accepting and as easy to please.
